Chinese Scientists Find Oxides on Lunar Soil for the First Time Chinese scientists recently made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying hematite and maghemite oxides in lunar soil, marking the first instance of such findings. This finding challenges previous beliefs that the Moon lacked oxidizing processes necessary for the formation of "rust." The study revealed that while oxidization does take place on the Moon, it necessitates extreme conditions instead of conventional chemical reactions. The revelation was made possible through the analysis of samples retrieved by the Chang'e-6 station from the far side of the Moon. This significant finding sheds new light on the geological processes occurring on the lunar surface and deepens our understanding of the Moon's composition and history.

12+12: The Day of the Spring Equinox On March 20 at 17:46 MSK, astronomical spring will start in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth. On this day, the line separating day and night on the planet will pass through the South and North Poles - along the meridians. As a result, the Sun will be above the horizon for precisely 12 hours and below it for 12 hours globally, leading to an equal duration of day and night worldwide. This balance gives the equinox its name, signifying a day when day and night are of equal length. However, due to refraction - the bending of sunlight in Earth's atmosphere - daylight will actually extend slightly beyond 12 hours.
